For a while, many people have wondered what is to become of the rap stars of the early 2000s. Would they soldier on with mixtapes and singles as their careers wither away? Would they become entrepreneurs? Reality TV stars?
All of the above, it seems, in the case of Nelly.

The trailer for a new reality show about the life and times of Nelly has emerged, in the form of a 15-second snippet showing the St. Louis rapper waking up. It will be called Nelly Ville, a throwback to Nelly’s second album Nellyville, the 14th best-selling rap album of all time.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, the show will involve the rapper’s attempts to balance his careers as a rap artist and a co-owner of the Charlotte Bobcats with his duties as a father.
We will also watch Nelly navigate the treacherous waters of love with Miss Jackson, who, according to the press release, is Floyd Mayweather’s ex-girlfriend.
The first episode of Nelly Ville airs on Nov. 25 at 10:30 ET on BET.
